For a comprehensive range of custom cable assemblies and associated products for the Computing, Electronics and Datacomms industries, Highblade is your one-stop shop. As a specialist company of dedicated professionals, we offer a reliable and flexible service to customers both in the UK and worldwide. We have been delivering cable solutions for a range of applications since 1986, and over the last 25 years we have established a reputation for top quality products at affordable prices. Our cabling solutions have been used in the telecommunications, military, marine, and offshore industries. So whether you require a one-off or a bulk order, we can provide a quotation.
At Highblade, we think that it's imperative that our cabling solutions are of the highest quality. Getting the right product first time is essential, as is offering cabling that has zero defects. This is why all of the products we sell are manufactured to in-house specifications;it's also why we operate a continual quality control review, and products are individually inspected and electronically tested prior to dispatch. We are also fully BS EN ISO 9001: 2008 accredited, meaning you're guaranteed products that will not let you down.
Highblade is also pleased to offer a free design service for our clients. This includes information gathering, implementation, prototyping, design review, validation and approval. Moreover, we don't just produce custom designs for cable assemblies; we also design interfaces, plastic injection mouldings, circuit boards, chassis components, equipment cases, and LAN and structured wiring schemes. Of course, all of our work is undertaken with the strictest confidence.
Here at Highblade, we manufacture a complete range of data cables for a variety of applications, including data communications, computing, EPOS equipment, machine control, testing, video transmission, and much more. We cater for all the commonly used interfaces for data communications, including RS232, Centronics and SCSI. All of our assemblies are individually inspected and tested before shipping - we use state-of-the-art test equipment which easily detects faults. With a highly-skilled workforce and first class facilities, we are able to take on low, medium and high volume production. So for standard and bespoke multicore cable assemblies, Highblade is your superior choice!
We offer coaxial cable assemblies which are suitable for data, RF and video applications. We stock all the common varieties of connectors, including BNC, TNC, SMA, SMB, SMC, N-type, F-type and BT43. Highblade also makes available a range of adaptor units for interconnection between these ranges. Our coaxial cable assemblies can be supplied to your specifications, and may be flexible or semi-rigid. Like all of our products, these assemblies are inspected and tested before we send them to you. So whether you need low, medium or large volumes, we can supply coaxial cable assemblies that are customised for your application.
Fibre optics have become the first choice of cabling for WAN's and LAN's in the data communications sector. This is because fibre optics are immune from EMI/RFI, have high data rates and can transmit data over long distances. Despite all these clear advantages, only recently have they become the system of choice for networking applications. We offer a full manufacturing service for all varieties of fibre optic cabling, whether you need ready-made assemblies or a customised site installation. We can terminate all forms of cabling with the connectors you require, and to complement our cabling service, we also offer a wide range of cabling accessories, including couplers, patch panels, transceivers, adaptors, wall outlets and termination cabinets.
Our bespoke manufacturing service extends to the design and production of coiled extendable leads. Coiled leads are ideal for handheld devices such as keyboards, barcode scanners, telecommunication equipment and industrial devices. Highly flexible, these coiled cables are an extremely practical and reliable cabling solution. To achieve outstanding flexibility, copper wires are helically lapped (spiral screening) and are then coated in either PVC, Polyurethane, Polyethylene, or other elastomer rubber-like materials. Coating is available in a choice of colours, and can be finished with gloss, semi-gloss, satin or matt.
Ribbon cable is a fast, reliable and cost-effective solution to many cabling problems, and is therefore in use in a range of applications in the electronics industry. Compact and manageable, Ribbon cabling is typically used for connections to Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). We provide solutions for all the standard PC interfaces, but Highblade is also able to manufacture bespoke cabling systems for a range of specialist equipment. As well as offering standard grey ribbon cabling, we can also provide colour coded cabling. What’s more, we also manufacture special ribbon cables, including twisted pair (twist-n-flat), round jacketed (round-n-flat) and screened ribbon cables.
Highblade has the facilities and expertise to take on the design and assembly of PCBs or even complete units to your exact specification. We have considerable experience producing equipment such as interface devices for EPOS systems, PSUs, LAN testers, printer upgrades, adaptor units, protocol converters, and many more devices. We can produce your PCB as a prototype, or mass produce it in single-sided, double-sided or multi-layer form. We can also populate your PCBs with free-issue or fully procured components.
We are pleased to be able to supply all types of networking hardware and patching cables. For outlets, cabling, connectors, switches, media converters and much more, Highblade is you affordable choice of supplier. We offer RJ45 patch leads that can be produced in a range of colours and lengths.
